Finishing Your Crown:
Once you’ve finished crocheting, your crown might look a bit wrinkled. Simply smooth it out with your hands to make it look nice before wearing it. If you want it to look extra neat, you can gently wet it and let it dry flat.
You can also add some sparkle by sewing beads (or jewels) around the crown or using a hot glue gun to stick them onto the points. This step is optional, so you can skip it if you prefer.
And that’s it! I hope you had fun making your Princess Crown!
